A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust by Sally Garcia

Chapter 401

After dinner, Calliope and Eamon wrapped up a game of chess, and she was ready to head out.

As soon as she stepped outside, Gideon seized the moment to follow her. "I'm getting married tomorrow."

"And what do you mean I won't have a chance if I don't speak up? What chance do I even need? A chance to pick up trash? Gideon, you were someone I tossed into the trash. The dumpster's filthy, why would I ever retrieve anything from it? I'd send it straight to the incinerator!"
